n.branco interview w/ daytimeconfidential

[bakedghoti]

has anyone listened to the daytimeconfidential podcast where luke interviews nelson branco?

my gosh, how he defends oltl/carlivati! his bias continues. he claims that carlivati wrote todd's violent scenes yet calls everything else is crap because that's written by the scabs. unbelievable. the bias of branco for carlivati continues. now branco is altering the timelines to claim that carlivati only rewrote "good stuff" on oltl, but anything bad automatically is written by the scabs. :rolling eyes:

as usual, he wants tina's (andrea evans) daughter to be a lesbian since he wants every new or returning character to be lgbt. and what's up with his faux accent? he sounds like that old popstar that is still clinging to fame who pretends to have some touches of a british accent, but is from detroit.

i loved it.

i personally do not like RC and think he is so overrated, but i do give him props because he did oltl back into a soap after th hack job DH did there. and when he is gone you can tell. he does get the show and soaps in general and does have talent - i just think one life is a bore. but in a day and age of murders and rapes every week - maybe boring isn't so bad?

i do love Branco tho, and don't think it is a bias for RC - i think he really enjoys RC's work and has respect for a man who has come into this dying genre and gave a dead show new life. Ryan Chandler from right here at SON, along with many many others, feel the same way (somewhat, they would have to post on why - I'm just making a comparison to the RC love).

as for him wanting Tina's daughter to be a lesbian - whats wrong with that? across all 8 daytime soaps there are 2 gay char's - both male, both on the same show, and one is on contract. and before you get into we need more racial diversity on daytime i agree, but one is not needed more than the other (the same could be said for middle and lower class people on soaps). both are lacking in daytime - and prime time and movies - and are needed. furthermore they need to be treated just like every other person on the show.

LOL! of course you did!

when someone claims that everything bad is written by scabs and the only thing "good" that aired during scabs period on oltl must have been written by carlivati, then that's a bias through and through. besides if carlivati did rewrite it, then he in effect would not be supporting the writer's strike, just like ellen degeneres did not support it.

branco wants tina to be paired with david vickers of all people! eeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwww! why pair your all time favorite actress with tuc watkins?! she'll be acting alongside boxer briefs! a towel will be her acting partner!

it is hilarous that branco claims to want racial diversity in daytime, yet everytime he suggests an lgbt character, he wants the character to be white (ex. ridge jr. on b&b, storm on b&b, brad on atwt, tina's daughter sara on oltl, etc.) i guess branco has never heard of lgbt people of color.
